To Tiff, I am sorry this happened. I wish we had spent more time together. I'll always remember this one time when we were around 10 yrs old. You had introduced me to Surge (soda). I was trying to enjoy it but I was too busy trying to deal with my allergies to your cat(s). You were laughing at me while my snot and eyes were running non stop. You will be missed.

Tiff, my little cousin I'm going to miss you more than anything. That smile funny laugh your clammy hands losing you we all lost a piece of us too. Growing up was an honor having you apart of the crew so many great funny crazy memories that I get to have for a lifetime. I remember you and Samantha Comin to see me in the hospital after I had Ace and you giving him the name Baby loaf,always loving on him tell him he was so cute always sharp like you. Your Aniyah your diva girly girl never missing a birthday or a phone call wishing them nothing but love from you. I showed Ace a pic of you and he said that's Titi Josie hahahaha. Rest easy and watch over us with Titi Mattie not goodbye it's see you later.. love you tiff(The prettiest 1)

Tiff, your spunky spirit is completely irreplaceable. I remember the time we all went to the haunted graveyard a couple years back, we had so much fun even though we were all terrified and holding on to each other. And at Krys Olympic Games party and you had invited me to a Uconn party with you haha. May your spontaneous nature live on forever. We love you Tiff!

Tiffy, the coolest out of my little sisters. I'll miss our random conversations, watching Disney Channel all day on the weekends, and making fun of Samantha with her sitting right next to us. Most of all I'll miss everything about your fantastic, bubbly, goofy personality. You would always hug me and make it seem like we just saw one another, when I would come home after being gone for a long time. We will all miss you sister and we know that you're watching over us. I love you so much Tiffy. Love, your big brother Dorian.

I love you so much, I miss you so much, and I can't wait to see you again. Smile down on us, your friends and beloved family. I'll never forget all the awesome times we shared and everything you've taught me. I was lucky to be your homie. Be at peace, and know you are loved. Until next time, Love Zack

Dearest Brown/Acosta family,

I regret that I did not know Tiffany-Lucas, but my son did from South Windsor High school and he was fortunate to have had her as a mentor/trainer at the Apple Store. He shared with me that she was the most beautiful person inside and out, very smart, and had the greatest personality who had a gift in helping others. She was loved. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Ok Tiffany stop laughing at me. Let me tell you why she's laughing. Because not only do I text slow I'm horrible with this phone thing. I have not slept as I have been working on the her service. It's not an easy thing for me to do and need it to be personal. So I wanted her momma to be the 1st one to give her my love. I guess I didn't save it and it broke my heart. I was crying hysterically and went into Samantha's begging her to find it for me. So let me tell you why I freaked out. I was letting my chicken medium know how much I love her and miss her. How my heart is broken into pieces. How I long to hold you. To let you know I'm here for you always and forever. Tuti my life will never be the same without my chicken medium. Chickens big and little will never be the same. My pretty girl momma always loved you. I would sell my soul for you Samantha and Journie. I love you all so much and have proven that with all the struggles heart aches sacrifices I made to make sure that my chickens grew up to be respectful honorable loving caring young woman. I can sit here and say that I did because you are the most affectionate loving caring respectful beautiful soul I've known. I am so proud to be your momma. My Minnie me. I have been blessed to have been given the miracle that only God can give to have you call me momma. This morning as I writing I felt her trying to be nosey to see what I was slowing typing like an old lady. I was letting her know that for the 1 st time in years her dad and I were finally her parents together. Tiffany you know your dad has been talking more than I can handle but he stops and laughs when I give him the look and he'll focus. You can continue laughing Tiffany cuz you know you know it's the truth. I let Tiffany know that I love her so much that I'm going to put my harsh feelings aside and give her what she longed for and she said to me thank you momma for understanding . I love you so much Tiffany that I'll do whatever makes you happy. Then I felt her being nosey again. She put a genuine smile on my face. So I decided to end my message to because this feeling in my heart that my pretty girl is with me is not a feeling I want to let go. I feel so happy that my baby is here with me right now. So tuti push over and let's have our snuggle time. Momma loves you pretty girl
